[Mike and Sulley are working in the mail room at Monsters Inc]
Yeti : Alright, newbies. Quit goofing around. I'll have you know that tampering with the mail is punishable by banishment.
Sulley : Yes Sir.
Mike Wazowski : We're right on it Mr. Snowman.

Mike Wazowski : Um, h... hello? Fellas?
[as he and Sulley walk down the basement into a candlelit are, where O.K fraternity surround it, wearing black cloaks]
Don : Do you pledge your souls to the Oozma Kappa brotherhood?
Mike Wazowski : [Terri and Terry hit Mike with a cricket bat] OW!
Terry : Do you swear to keep secret.
Terri : All that you learn here?
Art : No matter how horrifying?
Sulley : [Squishy hits Sulley with cricket bat] Hey!
Squishy : Will take the scared oath of the...
[initiation interrupted by someone, turning on the lights]
Don : For crying out loud.
Ms. Squibbles : Sweetie! Turn the lights on when you're down here. You're going ruin your eyes.
Squishy : MOM, WE'RE DOING AN INITIATION!
Ms. Squibbles : Oh, scary! Well, carry on. Just pretend I'm not here
[turns off half the lights, and walk downstairs to the washing machine]
Squishy : This is my mom's house. Do you promise to look out for your brothers?
[Mrs. Squibbles turns on the laundry dial loudly]
Squishy : No matter what the peril?
[Laundry machine runs noisily]
Squishy : ... WILL YOU DEFEND OOZMA KAPPA? NO MATTER HOW DANGEROUS? NO MATTER HOW INSURMOUNTABLE THE ODDS MAY BE? FROM EVILS BOTH GREAT AND SMALL? IN THE FACE OF UNENDING PAIN AND... OH FORGET IT! You're in.
-
Sulley : You don't need to study scaring, you just do it.
-
Sulley : I act scary, Mike. But most of the time, I'm terrified.
Mike Wazowski : How come you never told me that before?
Sulley : Because we weren't friends before.
-
[In the human world, Sulley is able to find Mike sitting sadly by the Pond]
Sulley : Psst Mike. Look, I'm sorry I messed up. Now let's get you outta here.
Mike Wazowski : You were right. They weren't scared of me. I did everything right. I wanted it more than anyone. And I thought... I thought that if I wanted it enough I could show everybody that Mike Wazowski is something special. And I'm just... not.
[brushes his reflection away in the water]
Sulley : Look, Mike, I know how you feel.
Mike Wazowski : [angrily] Don't do that! Please don't do that! You do not know how I feel!
Sulley : Mike, calm down.
Mike Wazowski : Monsters like you have everything! You don't have to be good! You can mess up over and over again, and the whole world loves you!
Sulley : Mike!
Mike Wazowski : You'll never know what it's like to fail, because you were born a Sullivan!
Sulley : Yeah I'm the Sullivan! I'm the Sullivan that flunked every test, the one who got kicked out of the program, the one who was so afraid to let everyone down that I cheated! And I lied!
Sulley : [sighs] Mike, I'll never know how you feel. But you're not the only failure here.

[On the First Morning in the Oozma Kappa Fraternity home, Mike's lips press against Sulley's hand, and Sulley falls off the bunk after the alarm goes off]
Sulley : What happened?
Mike Wazowski : Your grubby paw was in my bed!
Sulley : Were you kissing my hand?
Mike Wazowski : [laughs] No! And what about you with all your shedding?
Sulley : I don't shed.
Mike Wazowski : Really?
[punches the mattress of the top bunk and Sulley's hair falls everywhere]
-
Sulley : [to Mike, as he leaves the Campus] You're not scary. Not even a little bit. But you are fearless, and if Dean Hardscrabble can't see that, then she can just...
Dean Hardscrabble : [Interrupting] I can just... what? Careful, Mister Sullivan, I was just starting to warm up to you.
Sulley : ...sorry.
-
Dean Hardscrabble : [Sulley tells Dean Hardscrabble and Professor Knight of how he rigged the Scare Simulator] You did what?
Sulley : My team had nothing to do with it. It was all me. I cheated.
Dean Hardscrabble : I expect you off campus by tomorrow.
Sulley : [in dismay] Yes ma'am.
Dean Hardscrabble : You're a disgrace to this university... and your family name.
-
[Mike notices that his settings on the Scare Simulator had been set to the Lowest Difficult instead of the Highest like the others, which is how he was able to mysteriously make a Record Breaking Scare to successfully beat the RORs in the Final Challenge of the Scare Games]
Mike Wazowski : [shocked] It's been tampered with.
Sulley : Uh, I don't think you should be messing with that.
Mike Wazowski : Why are my settings... different?
Sulley : Mike, we should leave.
Mike Wazowski : Did you do this?
Sulley : Mike...
Mike Wazowski : [louder] Did you do this?
Sulley : [sighs] Yes I did. But... you don't understand...
Mike Wazowski : Why? Why did you do this?
Sulley : You know... just in case.
Mike Wazowski : [angrily] In case of what? You don't think I'm scary. You said you believed in me. But you're just like Hardscrabble, you're just like everyone else!
Sulley : Look, you'll get better and better...
Mike Wazowski : I'm as scary as you! I'm as scary as anyone!
Sulley : I was just trying to help!
Mike Wazowski : No! You just wanted to help yourself!
Sulley : Well, what else was I supposed to do? Let the whole team fail because you don't have it?
[offended, Mike storms off. Nearby, their Teammates heard everything, and Squishy sadly places their trophy onto the ground]
-
Sulley : [Introducing himself] James P. Sullivan.
Mike Wazowski : Mike Wazowski.
-
Mike Wazowski : My chances are just as good as yours
Sulley : You're not even in the same league with me.
Mike Wazowski : Just wait, hotshot. I'm gonna scare circles around you this year.
-
Sulley : You're wasting your time. We need a new team.
Mike Wazowski : We can't just 'get a new team'! I checked this morning, it's against the rules.
-
[From the Teaser Trailer, Mike walks out of his dorm with Silver Plates glued to him, with other Monsters Partying outside]
Mike Wazowski : [laughs] OK. Very Funny Sullivan.
Sulley : You look great Wazowski!
Mike Wazowski : You know, if you're gonna prank someone. The least you can do is think of something clever.
[Sulley switches off the lights, and Mike begins to shine like a Crystal Ball as all the Other Monsters begin to party]
-
[During the Final Exam of the Scaring Program, Mike and Sulley whilst trying to prove ones better than the other accidentally destroy Dean Hardscrabble's Scream Canister that had been placed up on the stool]
Mike Wazowski : I'm so sorry.
Sulley : It was an accident.
Dean Hardscrabble : [picking up the destroyed canister] What, this? My souvenir from a lifetime of scaring? Accidents happen, don't they? The important thing is: no one got hurt.
Mike Wazowski : You're taking this remarkably well.
-
Sulley : [after Oozma Kappa successfully completed the 4th challenge of the Scare Games, in 2nd place] Hey Dean Hardscrabble. When we get into the Scaring Program, you'll sure be blown away.
Dean Hardscrabble : [sighs] Tomorrow, each of you must prove that you are undeniably scary, and I know, for a fact... that one of you is not.
[points at Mike, Sulley is confused]
Sulley : No. He works harder than anyone.
Dean Hardscrabble : But do you think he scary?
Sulley : He's the heart and soul of the team!
Dean Hardscrabble : [repeating herself] Do you think hes scary?
[Dean Hardscrabble walks off. Sulley begins to look at Mike, feeling worried about him]
-
[It is Mike and Sulley's first day working on the Monsters, inc. Scare Floor]
Merv : Wazowski, good luck on your first day!
Mike Wazowski : Thanks, Merv!
[Mike smiles as other monsters congratulate him as well]
Mike Wazowski : Thanks, fellas!
[pauses at the line in front of the scare floor that he stepped over as a child at the start of the film]
Sulley : You coming, coach?
Mike Wazowski : You better believe it.
-
Dean Hardscrabble : Mr. Sullivan. I am a seven year old boy...
[Sulley roars before Dean Hardscrabble can finish]
Dean Hardscrabble : I wasn't finished.
Sulley : I don't need to know any of that stuff to scare.
Dean Hardscrabble : That 'stuff' would've informed you that this particular child is afraid of snakes. So a Roar wouldn't make him scream, it would make him cry, alerting his parents, exposing the monster world, destroying life as we know it. And of course we can't have that. So I cannot recommend that you continue in the Scare Program. Good day.
Sulley : [confused] But I'm a Sullivan.
Dean Hardscrabble : Well then, I'm sure your family will be very disappointed.
[Johnny and the Rest of the RORs, having been watching nearby, leave the gallery, taking Sulley's ROR Jacket with him]

[Mike and Sulley have managed to successfully catch Fear Tech's Mascot, Archie the Scare Pig, after chasing him across the Campus]
Sulley : Fear Tech's Mascot. MU RULES!
[Sulley lifts Mike and the Pig up into the air to show his Victory to the Other Students on Campus]
-
[Mike hasn't had luck finding someone to join his team to compete in the Scare Games and get back into the Scaring Program]
Greek Council President : This doesn't look good. We really need to move on, your team doesn't Qualify.
Sulley : Yes it does.
[Climbs onto of a nearby vehicle]
Sulley : The star player has just arrived.
Mike Wazowski : [Surprised] No No No. Please, anybody but him.
Greek Council President : [Losing her Patience] Look, we're shutting down sign ups, OK? Is he on your team or not?
[Mike, aware that he signed up at the Last Minute, knows he hasn't got much a choice, seeing that no-one else is interested in joining his team, and he's really determined to get into the Scare Games to prove Dean Hardscrabble that he and his team really are scary. Sulley points at him and winks]
Mike Wazowski : Fine. Yes, he's on my team.
[the Crowd starts to cheer, with the Scare Games about to start]
-
[Sulley rushes to the Door Making Lab, where Dean Hardscrabble is with some Campus Security Guards]
Dean Hardscrabble : No-one goes near this door until the authorities arrive!
Squishy : [Sulley gets approached by the Rest of his Team] James wait, we can help.
Sulley : Look, it's my fault Mike got into this, so it's up to me to get him out of it.
Don : Leave it to the old master of sales.
[Walks up to to Dean Hardscrabble and the Security Guards]
Don : Hi there. Don Carlton, Sales Person. How often have you asked yourselves the following question?
Dean Hardscrabble : Arrest him.
[the Security Guards press Don up against the wall, allowing the coast to be clear for Sulley to get to the door]
MU Security Guard : [to Don] Up against the wall *Pops*.
Dean Hardscrabble : [Noticing Sulley] Sullivan, don't you dare.
[desperate, Sully enters the door that Mike went through into the Human World]
-
[In the Teaser, having roped Mike with the Small Mirrors glued to him to a fan]
Sulley : I Love College.
[Snaps Photo of Mike as he slowly circles the room like a Disco Ball]
-
Professor Knight : Alright, alright. Who can tell me the Properties of an Effective Roar?
[Mike raises his hand]
Professor Knight : Yes
Mike Wazowski : There are actually five. Those include the roar's resonance, the duration of the roar, and...
[a loud roar from the Back of the Crowd by a Late Student interrupts Mike, and the other monsters stare at him in amazement]
Sulley : Oops, sorry. I heard someone say "Roar", so I kinda went for it.
Professor Knight : [as Sulley makes his way to his seat] Very impressive Mister...
Sulley : Sullivan, James P Sullivan.
Professor Knight : Like, Bill Sullivan? The Scarer?
Sulley : He's my Dad.
[the other students feel amazed]
Sulley : You can call me Sulley.
Professor Knight : I expect big things from you this year.
Sulley : You won't be disappointed.
[takes his seat]
Mike Wazowski : Um, I'm sorry sir. But can I please continue?
Professor Knight : Nah, Mr. Sullivan covered it.
[the Students each get out their Textbooks on Scaring]
Professor Knight : Everyone Open your Scaring Textbooks. Turn to Chapter 1.
Sulley : [to a nearby student] Can I borrow your Pencil, I forgot my stuff.
[Sulley uses the pencil as a toothpick, and Mike stares at him displeasingly]
Mike Wazowski : [to himself] That guy is so annoying.
-
Sulley : [on the night before the Final Scare Games challenge in their Oozma Kappa Bedroom] It's time to put aside all the text books, reach down and let the *Scary* out.
[Mike practices scary poses]
Sulley : Come on, DIG DEEP.
Ms. Squibbles : [calling out] Oh boys, it's a School Night.
[Mike and Sulley stop, now feeling refreshed]
Mike Wazowski : Tomorrow, the whole world is gonna see what Mike Wazowski can do.
Sulley : [smiling] You bet they are.
-
Mike Wazowski : [as Mike's Team start to walk off following what Johnny said] Guys! Hold on! Hey, hey, hey, wait a second. Don't listen to him! We just, need to keep trying!
Sulley : [losing confidence] No! You need to stop trying! You can train monsters like this all you want, but you can't change who they are.
Don : Mike... We appreciate everything you done, but he's right. No matter how much we train, we'll never look like them. We're built for other things.
[walks off with the rest of the team, while Mike starts feeling concerned]
Chet : [whilst drinking a cup with the humiliating photo of Oozma Kappa on it] Sorry, squirts! Some monsters just aren't cut out for the big leagues.
Mike Wazowski : The big leagues.
[Mike approaches his teammates in Squishy's house]
Mike Wazowski : [having come up with an idea] Gentleman, tonight, we're all going on a little Field Trip.
